Congress-JDS Ahead In 4 Seats, BJP Has 1 In Karnataka By-Polls

he ruling Congress-Janata Dal Secular (JDS) alliance in Karnataka was ahead in four seats and the BJP was set to retain one in bypolls that are expected to have an impact on opposition moves to forge a grand coalition to take on the BJP in next year's national election. The Congress has surged ahead in Ballari, a BJP stronghold since 2004. The BJP is ahead only in one parliamentary seat, Shivamogga, vacated by former chief minister BS Yeddyurappa. The ruling alliance is leading in the rest - the Mandya Lok Sabha seat and the assembly constituencies of Jamakhandi and Ramanagara. An upper hand in these by-elections will be seen as validation for the Congress-JD(S) coalition amid digs about its longevity from the BJP, which is still smarting at its failure to form a government despite winning the most number of seats in the May state elections.
